Subscission
About The Treatment
Subscission is a minor surgical procedure used to treat depressed acne scars. The procedure involves inserting a needle or special blade under the skin to release the fibrous strands that are pulling the scar down. By breaking these fibrous bands, the skin is allowed to rise and smooth out, improving the overall texture of the skin. Subscission is particularly effective for rolling scars and other types of depressed scars, offering significant improvement with minimal downtime.

What to Expect?
The procedure involves numbing the area and using a needle to release the scar tissue. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. The treated area will gradually improve in texture as the skin heals and new collagen is produced. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, depending on the severity of the scars.
